ESET Launches Beta Program for ESET Remote Administrator 4

Created: 2009-12-18 00:00:00

ESET, the leader in proactive threat
protection, has announced that ESET Remote Administrator 4 is now
available for public beta testing.

ESET Remote Administrator 4 makes it easy to deploy and manage ESET
business solutions. Whether a company has 10 workstations or 10,000,
ESET Remote Administrator allows for remote management from a single
console. It is resource-efficient, scalable and easy to use.
Timesaving features such as Active Directory integration, parametric
groups, centralized quarantine management, firewall rules merge wizard,
parallel remote install and Windows clustering support reduce the
man-hours IT teams spend on endpoint security management while
increasing their productivity.

Key features include:

Active Directory synchronization —
Eliminates the need to create duplicate security group structures
outside of existing Active Directory and the risk of inconsistency. This
feature makes it easy to deploy ESET Business Solutions in large and
dispersed networks with complex hierarchies.

Parametric
groups — Create and update groups dynamically based on
selected criteria. These groups can be used in filtering, reports,
notifications and policy rules. Administrators can instantly identify
problematic or infiltrated nodes, reducing management overhead and time
to problem resolution.

Centralized quarantine
management — Presents a global view of quarantined objects on
the clients. Quarantine objects can also be downloaded from the clients
for inspection. Tasks can be created to restore or delete quarantined
objects based on a selected criteria or exclude them from further
scanning, ensuring a consistency in quarantine policy across all
endpoints.

Firewall rules merge wizard —
Simplifies the task of combining firewall rules from multiple clients
into one unified set. The merged rules can then be applied to all or
specified groups of endpoints using a Configuration task or a policy to
ensure consistency and efficiency in firewall rule enforcement.

Parallel remote install — Adminstrators no longer
have to supervise remote installs as they execute serially. Save time
by identifying unregistered endpoints using Active Directory or IP
range/mask searches and create tasks to concurrently diagnose or push
install to these endpoints.

Support for upcoming
ESET products — Remotely manage all endpoints running current
and previous versions of ESET Smart Security, ESET NOD32 Antivirus for
Windows, as well as upcoming releases of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac
and Linux, and next generation mobile security products.

Unified schedule interface — All schedulable
tasks are now managed from a single interface to improve usability and
reduce opportunity for errors and inconsistencies.

Windows/Domain
login — Users now have the option to authenticate using
Windows/Domain credentials instead of ESET Remote Administrator Server
credentials, reducing a level credentials that need to be managed.

NOTE: The beta test version is a precursor of the final product.
Full functionality and documentation have not yet been implemented. Some
system instability may occur; ESET recommends experienced users install
Remote Administrator 4 Beta only on machines that do not perform
critical tasks.
